anyway, usually no new version came out before qt-kde repo is used. Till now this did not happen.. it is not a good signal. It would be nice if devs write just a blog post or two to say "Hey, we're working on it!" or "we have problem splitting packages and building the dependencies". Maybe someone could be more interested in supporting them, or even joining the team. I think they're too much isolated, isn't this the era of communication?

The November 2011 issue of Linux Format magazine (UK) DVD has Chakra running KDE 4.7 in live mode. It's fun to try. From my ordinary user standpoint,
it is not a huge change. But it ran well on my laptop. I have no intention of installing Chakra. Aptosid continues to be my distro of choice.
